Description of Research Expertise

My overarching career goal is to improve outcomes in the surgical and non-surgical treatment of obstructive sleep apnea. By leveraging my unique training and practice in head and neck surgery, sleep medicine and clinical research, I am positioned to personalize the care of patients with this disease.
